Inducing immunity to liver stage malaria through endogenous tissue resident memory cells
(2020-12-16)
Tissue-resident memory CD8 T (TRM) cells provide effective tissue surveillance and can respond rapidly to infection due to their strategic location. Within the liver, TRM cells can induce effective protection against ...
Ribosome profiling of selenoproteins in vivo reveals consequences of pathogenic Secisbp2 missense mutations: The establishment of translating ribosome affinity purification
(2020-11-04)
Recoding of in-frame UGA/Seccodon in selenoproteins requires a complex translational machinery. The core of this event is the interaction between selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS element) in the 3’UTR of ...
Structural and functional principles of long-range connectivity in the rat vibrissal system
(2020-11-05)
Pyramidal tract neurons (PTs) represent the major output cell type of the mammalian neocortex. Integrating feedforward thalamo-cortical (TC) and recurrent intracortical (IC) inputs with those from top down cortical-cortical ...
The role of cytohesins in the regulation of immune responses
(2020-02-17)
Cytohesins are guanine nucleotide exchange factors for adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor (Arf) proteins and promote the switch of Arfs to the active GTP-bound form. Cytohesins have been shown in different in vitro ......
Impact of chronic liver inflammation on adaptive immune responses to viral infection
(2020-03-11)
A common complication in patients suffering from chronic liver inflammation and fibrosis is the enhanced susceptibility to viral infections and weak responses to vaccination, which are associated with significant co-morbidities. ...
Immune defense mechanisms against Legionella longbeachae
(2020-01-30)
The pulmonary epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against pathogens invading the lungs. If those are able to overcome this first barrier, myeloid cells of the innate immune system are instrumental for the ......
Role of the chemokines CCL17 and CCL22 in the immune defence against Salmonella infection
(2020-03-17)
The chemokines CCL17 and CCL22 are both ligands of the chemokine receptor CCR4, which is expressed on dendritic cells (DC) and a variety of different effector T cells including regulatory T cells (Treg). Both chemokines ......
Risikofaktoren für eine akute Hepatitis C-Infektion in der europäischen PROBE-C Studie
(2020-10-14)
Ausbrüche von akuten HCV-Infektionen bei HIV-positiven MSM wurden seit 2000 berichtet. Diverse Studien haben die HCV-Infektion mit einer HIV-1-Co-Infektion assoziiert. Bisherige Forschung hat gezeigt, dass Übertragungs-Cluster ...
Functional and cellular heterogeneity of the myeloid cell system
(2020-11-09)
Cells of the myeloid lineage form the innate part of the immune system and are characterized by a high level of functional plasticity, which is required to address the diverse set of functions of these mononuclear cells. ...
